EVALUATION MECHANISM The selection of the agency will be based on the evaluation of the technical & financial bids by the Evaluation Committee. For evaluation, a Combined Quality Cum Cost Based System (CQCCBS) evaluation method will be followed, wherein a weighted composite success score will be calculated based on separate evaluations of the Technical Bid (70% weightage) and the Financial Bid (30% weightage). The minimum qualifying score for technically qualifying will be 70 marks out of 100. Bidders failing to attain the minimum technical qualifying score of 70 marks will be rejected. Financial bids of only those agencies will be opened who qualify with the minimum qualifying score on their technical proposals evaluated by the committee. Among the technically qualified bidders, the lowest financial bid would be accorded a score of 100 and other technically qualified proposals would be assigned financial score in inverse proportion to the lowest financial bid. For example, if the lowest bid price is Rs. 100, the lowest bidder will get a score of 100. If the second lowest bid is Rs. 150, the bidder will get a score of (100 / 150) x 100 = The scores will be calculated up to 2 decimal places. The composite final score will be calculated from the technical and commercial scores as shown in the illustrative example below. Bidders A, B and C with technical bid marks of 80, 85 and 90 respectively, have been shortlisted for consideration of their commercial bids. The commercial bids of the 3 bidder are as follows: A= Rs. 5 lakhs, B= Rs. 7.5 lakhs and C= Rs. 10 lakhs. The composite final score (S) for A, B and C will be calculated in the following manner: 5

6 Bidd er Technical marks (out of 100 marks) Weighted technical score (column 2 x 70%) Comme rcial Bid quote (in Rs. Lakhs) Proportionate commercial score (lowest quote/bidder' s quote) x 100 Weighted commercial score (column 5 x 30%) A B C Final composite score (S=column3+ column6) The agency attaining the highest maximum combined evaluated score (Technical and Financial Score) would be selected. In the aforesaid example since bidder A has the highest composite final score (S=86.00), the work order will be given to bidder A. In case the highest composite score is the same for more than one bidder, the bidder with the higher commercial bid score will be awarded the contract. The decision of the committee will be final and binding. 6
